Once again, they were face to face, inches away from one another. He could feel her breath on his lips. Gallagher leaned forward, pressing his forehead against hers, his gaze locking onto hers. He wanted to jump into it, take the charge and go, but this back and forth? —

"Of course, curious to ken if you can figure me out by just looking at me." There was no mistaking the way that Gallagher was looking at her. He already felt a certain way about her earlier in the evening and it was coming back to hit him full force. —

"Oh were you now?" By now, his glass was still full, but had been put to the side, as Tora now had his full attention. He was on his knees, one hand cradling her hand and the other reaching for her elbow. —

He cradled her hand in his, gently moving his thumb against the tattooed lines on her skin. Gallagher lifted her hand up to his lips, pressing a couple kisses into her knuckles. "Was there any other thoughts on your mind that you'd be willing to share with me, lass? —

"I figured that would be your reply." He smirked at her and picked up the bottle, pouring more of the alcohol into her glass. Once he had hers filled, he would refill his own glass, finishing off the bottle. With all of the alcohol consumed, Gallagher was feeling warm as well, —

"Having more to show off would be fun, yeah?" As far as scars went for him, he knew he definitely had a couple here and there. Small ones from getting nicked, nothing major. "Scars can have some good stories too. I ain't got nothing to really share in terms of scars. —

"Aye, I wouldn'a mind helping out with that. Maybe you could continue what you got going on up here," Gallagher made a gesture towards his shoulders and down his arms. "And do something similar down your legs, knees and feet, perhaps." —

Gallagher leaned back a little bit with his glass in hand as she removed her shirt. His gaze was drawn to the ones on her collarbones and moved down her shoulders, are and eventually her hands. "Simple and elegant, I see. It suits you well. I imagine the ones on the hands were fun to get. —

"There's a story behind this one down here. I lost a bet that involved getting a tattoo, any kind of placement but it had to be of whatever the other person said you had ta get." "And I, just for the hell of it, said that I'd do a tramp stamp, cause it'd stay mostly covered up. But well . . ." —

Gallagher lifted his glass to take a whiff of it before sipping on it as she spoke. He did have to wonder though when she'd mentioned being unrelated to her parents, it did catch his attention. Part of him had wanted to ask for clarification, but given how she'd switched topics, —

"Well, I'd say it probably comes from having had tall parents. Mum's pretty menacing when she wants to be, and I remember my Pa was pretty big fer his height." He paused for a brief moment before continuing on. "Ah, me Mum's Irish and me father was Scottish. —

"Thank you. I like to think I ken how to make a lovely lady like yourself satisfied." A soft grin pulled across his face as he took a other sip of the port, lowering the glass to speak again. "I will admit, I've got myself a fair bit of experience. An I can tell you ken how ta kiss." —

He watched her as she poured out the port, and for a brief moment he wasn't sure if she had it— but she managed. Gallagher reached for both of the glasses, handing one of them to Tora as he settled down onto the floor with her. —

While she was put in charge of getting the bottle open, Gallagher strode across his room to retrieve a set of more appropriate drinkware for this. He turned on his heels once he heard the POP and returned with two stemless wine glasses. —

As he had been mulling it over, he watched her sort through the bottles and reach for the port. His gaze dropped to glance over the bottle's label, not even thinking about it's placement, and then back up to her. —

Gallagher glanced over the bottles that they had, lifting a hand to press his knuckle against his mouth. "Good question ." The vodka, he knew they could finish off relatively quickly, since that had more of that then the whiskey. —

He had a couple banners of his division that he was in hanging on the wall. Several small photographs of what appeared to be squad mates, and some of family members were sitting next to a scrapbook. Looked like he was working on a project with them and had been for a while. —

"Just wanting ta make sure, is all. Sometimes it can sneak up on ya." Once everything had been collected between the two of them, Gallagher would start leading her down the corridors and over towards his bunk. He was aware of her leaning on him for balance, —

When she'd slipped, Gallagher was quick to jump out of his seat, half forgetting he was decently inebriated himself, and stumbled somewhat upon landing onto his feet. "Careful, lass. Wouldn't want ya to hurt yourself. Are you good to walk?" —

He had been very much enjoying this back and forth game of flirtation and competitive drinking. Gallagher leaned in as her lips touched his, a hand moving up to cradle the side of her face as he kissed her. He melted into her, a soft hum rising in the back of his throat as he deepened the kiss.—

The two of them were now face to face, close enough that if he were to act on impulse, he wouldn't need to have to move much further to get to her. He was drawn into her, he could feel her breath and smell the alcohol on it as well. It was almost intoxicating. —

ꜱꜱɢᴛ. ɢᴀʟʟᴀɢʜᴇʀ "ʟᴜᴄᴋʏ" ꜰʀᴀᴢɪᴇʀ @hellishluck.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

"Aye, you can count on it being private, lass, it'll be under lock and key. I wouldn't have offered if it wasn't." His gaze levelled with hers, his eyelids half lidded and an unmistakable smirk played on his lips. —

ꜱꜱɢᴛ. ɢᴀʟʟᴀɢʜᴇʀ "ʟᴜᴄᴋʏ" ꜰʀᴀᴢɪᴇʀ @hellishluck.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

"Aye, it would be. But covering our tracks just helps to ensure we get away with it too. Wouldn't wanna leave these bottles sitting around out in the open, now would we, lass?" Reckless and impulsive were definitely words that fit well with where his thoughts were headed, but he didn't mind it. —

"Either way, I'd like to listen to whatever it is you're thinking about. I'm real good at doing that." He couldn't stop grinning, he was vaguely aware of her gaze on him, a part of him hoping she'd move a little closer. "I know I can keep going all night if I wanted to and I'm tempted to too. —

"I've had my fair share of practice too, hell, some of the benders I've had ended with me half dressed and soaked to the bone. Oh, I have some stories." It was at this point that his words were starting to have a little bit of slurring at the end of them. —

"Aye, you did say so after all, I remember." He chuckled and moved to pour the liquor into her glass as well, right up to the rim. "Don't wanna get left in the dust here now, do you?" Gallagher grinned and winked at her before he downed his shot, placing it back onto the table. —

"It's taken a long time to let that anger go, but I managed to do it. I'm just glad I've been able to start mending things." Gallagher's attention shifted back to her as she readjusted her positioning against the table. He didn't think all too much of it, and went to pour himself another shot. —

ꜱꜱɢᴛ. ɢᴀʟʟᴀɢʜᴇʀ "ʟᴜᴄᴋʏ" ꜰʀᴀᴢɪᴇʀ @hellishluck.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

He nodded as she spoke, he'd figured it'd have been something that wasn't too terribly heinous. "Either way, I'm glad you got the chance for having the alternative. Do ye think it turned out to be a good choice, looking back?" Gallagher noted the drumming of fingers on the table, —

"Well, at least ye got to have a choice of the two. Better be here than stuck in a cell somewhere, right?" The alcohol was beginning to hit him now, his accent a bit stronger as he continued to speak to her. "I willnae judge, I's a little curious, —

Even while starting to feels the effects of the alcohol, Gallagher still appeared to be fine. He'd lift the glass to his lips and threw back the shot, placing the glass back down on the surface of the table, before glancing her way again. —

Gallagher was watching her and noticed the brief hesitation. He lifted his glass to his lips, paused and then took the shot, followed by the wrinkling of his nose. "I'll hit you up, lass, one second." Putting the vodka back down, he reached for the whiskey once again, —

ꜱꜱɢᴛ. ɢᴀʟʟᴀɢʜᴇʀ "ʟᴜᴄᴋʏ" ꜰʀᴀᴢɪᴇʀ @hellishluck.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

"Are you sure?" He'd raise a brow at her. Refilling both of their glasses with the clear spirit once again. "Cause somethings telling me you might be feeling it a little bit, heh. How's about we switch liquors after this one?"

ꜱꜱɢᴛ. ɢᴀʟʟᴀɢʜᴇʀ "ʟᴜᴄᴋʏ" ꜰʀᴀᴢɪᴇʀ @hellishluck.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

A low rumble of a laugh escaped him before he finished his next shot, his nose crinkling as the vodka made it's way down. He's feeling a touch of it, given the size difference between the two of them is fairly significant, the only show of it was slightly flushed and warm cheeks. "Feeling it yet?"

"Ahh, I'll get used to it in me own time, I just dunnae drink it often." He would pour out another shot for her, also refilling his own glass in the process. "Oh don't worry your pretty head about me, lass. I'll be right behind ya."

"I see, I see. I can work with that." He'd reach over for the bottle, twisting the top off of it so that he could refill both of their shot glasses. "Lemme guess, you can drink it like water, yeah?"

ꜱꜱɢᴛ. ɢᴀʟʟᴀɢʜᴇʀ "ʟᴜᴄᴋʏ" ꜰʀᴀᴢɪᴇʀ @hellishluck.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

Down went the first shot, barely a wince except for a slight crinkle of the nose. "Alright, lass, your pick now."
